Her mother stopped visiting Terri for several days before Terri's death, it was too upsetting for the mother. That really bothers me, if there was ever a time that Terri needed her mother it was during that time, no matter how hard it was for the mother.

Terri's remains aren't Terri so this fight is meaningless oneupmanship IMO. That said, the Schindlers should motion the court to have Michael found in contempt unless he lets them know where they are, that shouldn't be too hard. After Terri's mother's actions toward the end I've lost respect for the Shindlers, but I hate Michae.

When I was in alot of pain from the atypical trigeminal neuralgia stuff, my much older cousin was in the nursing home dying of cancer in the right side of her face/jaw/head.

I couldn't go visit her. I knew I couldn't handle her suffering and I was in soooo much pain myself. They said she cried and cried to die.

When my grandma was dying of congestive heart failure, I'd have to come over and then call the ambulance, eventually taking my turn watching her and taking care of her until we put her in a nursing home.

That was hard because I know what it's like to gasp for breath due to my asthma but I had to do it because we are so few. I could hardly stand to watch the panic in her eyes as she tried to draw air.

It's hard watching someone die, especially when that person is in pain.

I do not condemn Terri's mother because she was having to witness one of the most horrendous deaths possible for her child and there wasn't a thing she could do to even feel like she was alleviating it. She couldn't even moisten her brow or lips with water.

How many family members go to watch one of their loved ones die when their loved one is getting a lethal injection for murder? Some do, some don't.

Please don't condemn Mary Schiavo unless you've walked in her shoes. She doesn't deserve to be condemned.

Please don't be hard on Mrs. Schlinder. None of us has been through what she has. She became physically ill when she saw her daughter at the end. I just cannot imagine having to be in the room with a daughter that was being killed and have to watch her suffer as she did. Think I would have attacked. Nobody is going to tell me my daughter will be killed just because........

Just imagine if it was your daughter. A daughter gets married to a bum, they fight and she is in a coma. The husband wants her dead so she cannot incriminate him......so, now, he has free murder. And, we expect a mother to be able to physically stand there and watch her beg for help from anybody?

God will get vengence for the treatment of Terri.

Veronica, I understand how you feel about Terri's mom but she had been through so very much she may have known she was at her breaking point and could not endurer seeing her daughter die without being able to help her. She knew her son and others would be there. She may just have not been strong enough to go on. Her husband had said earlier that she wasn't able to cope anymore. Please try not to judge her harshly. She has spent loving years at Terri's side.
